The Beatles go digital

It's low-tech black and white, but the fab four never looked
better in a new digital transfer of "A Hard Days Night,"
just released by MPI Home Video.

If watching the Beatles isn't enough, try interacting with 'A
Hard Day's Night." The Voyager Interactive CD-ROM of the film
is a few years old, but it continues to be a big seller in
both Macintosh and IBM formats. Not only can you watch the
entire film on your computer monitor, you can also
cross-reference scenes and songs ... and every word of the
script.

From the beginning, I guess you could say "Help!" was less
... digital. (Remember the ongoing threat to Ringo's
finger?) Nevertheless, the Beatles' second film is also
available in a feature-laden videocassette release from MPI
in much fresher color. Especially red.

Travelers on the long and winding information superhighway
will also find Beatle sites ... not only dozens of unofficial
ones, but also World Wide Web pages from Capitol
Records; ABC, home of "The Beatles Anthology;" and from
Life magazine.
